Workers fishing for debris from Ike

Clad in muddied coveralls, the commercial fishermen thrust their hands in the murky Galveston Bay water and pulled up a thick length of gray electrical conduit almost as long as a yacht.
It’s not a bad catch for brothers Allen and Michael Lee — shrimpers from Pascagoula, Miss., who’ve come to Galveston County to clean the trash and debris pushed into the bay, bayous and canals by Hurricane Ike.
